Seattle has the most U.S. World Cup fans of any city in the nation.

At least, that’s what Facebook data shows. Gigya, a company that allows you to log into websites with your social media accounts, compiled data from 11,500 Facebook users and found that Seattle has the largest concentration of U.S. Men’s National Team fans of any city in the United States.

In fact, Seattle blows away every other city with 6.54 percent of the country’s USMNT fans. Portland, another town with a wild soccer fanbase, is ranked second with 4.44 percent of U.S. fans.

Washington also has more U.S. World Cup fans than any other state in the union except California, Gigya told seattlepi.com. According to the Facebook data, 8.78 percent of the nation’s USMNT fans live in Washington. California boasts 13.41 percent.
